About Us
Introduction
The Hong Kong Education Bibliographic Database has been developed by The Education University of Hong Kong Library as an easy-to-use annotated online database for researchers to quickly identify all research literature related to education in Hong Kong. It is one of the "Hong Kong Education Heritage" projects initiated by The Education University of Hong Kong to preserve the cultural heritage of education in Hong Kong.
The Bibliographic Database, first launched as a beta testing site in November 2010, is fully searchable by commonly used index fields such as author, title, publication year and keyword. In addition, a tree-structured subject classification based on two previous bibliographic projects (see below) has been established to allow researchers to locate items of interest easily by browsing. Brief annotations or abstracts will also be included for all items once the Bibliographic Database is completed.
Aims and Objectives
To support and promote academic research into Hong Kong education by building a comprehensive research database on the history and development of education and related topics in Hong Kong
To raise the quality of research by making previous work easier to locate, and in so doing to raise the visibility of all educational research and researchers in Hong Kong
To strengthen the connections between the University, the local and worldwide scholarly community, and researchers and practitioners in the field of education, as well as interested members of public, through open access to the bibliographic information provided by the database
Scope and Coverage
The Bibliographic Database will index all research output related to education in Hong Kong regardless of the researchers' origin. When the bibliographic database is completed, data from three previous bibliographic projects related to Hong Kong education will be included with the coverage of past research work dating back as far as 1946:
